The concenus from past threads is there are few, if any, truly unsearched rolls. Let's see what the other members have to say.

 

they appear to be howevr its a bit sketchy because based on the pics, you can't see whats in them, ask the seller to see the ends of the rolls

 

Bought one of the cent rolls, I'll let you know what I find.

 

I wouldn't touch them. You can do the same thing coin roll hunting with rolls from the bank. The wrappers on the seller's coins, which may be legit, does nothing to warrant spending that much on them. The volume of coins you can get at the bank at face value gives you far better odds than buying one of these rolls. All you are doing is lining this guy's pockets with your hard earned cash.

 

its amazing that all the rolls have tails ends showing in all the pics on the the 3 auctions

 

He's selling dreams.

 

And I thought 8.95 was a lot for an Indian head roll

 

They are old paper rolls yes....
Does not mean that someone did not fill them yesterday however

 

Old = Yes

Original = Doubtful

Unsearched = Not likely

Getting ripped = Priceless

 

Well out of the two rolls I brought I got a 24d and s which paid for it, and a 1913 d semi key so I guess I did ok and i defiantly didn't lose.

 

For all anyone knows the dude bought some old antique wrappers and wrapped up some coins to sell on ebay. Who knows.

 

Just lucky. Or they might have been seeded rolls. You'll notices that they always mention the key dates that have been "found". This really boosts their sales.
I wouldn't pay $20 or $30 bucks for a 50 cent roll. I'd still rather spend that for rolls from the bank or grocery stores.

 

If you look at the guys feedback everyone seems to be pleased. Doesn't justify spending the amount asked though.

 

When did banks start crimping rolls? I feel like that was something I didn't start to see until the '80s or '90s. That tidbit right there makes me suspicious. Beforehand, the ends of paper rolls were folded over like the ends of a wrapped present.

 

Banks, never. Brinks, Loomis, and companies that deliver rolled change to banks and large companies that deal with large sums of money daily, use a crimping machine for rolling coins. Not sure when they started it. Any rolls of coins I ever received from a bank was folded ends not crimped.

 

Still waiting for a update, did you receive it yet? any keys inside?

 

I know that (somewhere online) I've seen a tool that you can buy that will crimp the ends of those preformed tubes that you can buy at Wal-Mart, etc. Remember, one end of the tube is already crimped, you fill 'em up, then use the tool to crimp the "uncrimped" end.

But old wrappers like these, I don't know. I've got several old rolls of 1960 Lincolns that are in Chase Manhattan wrappers where both ends are crimped. The interesting thing about these is that one end of each of them has a paper or cardboard piece on one end, which makes me think that, at the time, that was part of the technology used to wrap OBW rolls.

But then again, what do I know?!?

 

just did a little websearch and one can buy a device to sort, roll and crimp your coins for $80. That's not alot to spend considering your fleecing folks at $20-$30 per roll.

 

I'm pretty sure it was done to prevent roller damage. However if you look at new rolls today almost all coins are roller damaged on the ends.
